ISikhumbuzo soMama wethu weentlungu

Imibhalo yeLigugu Apha

I wema wajonga iinyembezi zisehla emehlweni akhe. Babaleka esidleleni sakhe kwaye benza amathontsi esilevini sakhe. Wayekhangeleka ngokungathi intliziyo yakhe ingophuka. Kusuku nje olungaphambi kwalolo, waye wabonakala enoxolo, onwabile… kodwa ngoku ubuso bakhe babonakala buveza usizi olunzulu entliziyweni yakhe. Ndingabuza nje “Kutheni…?”, Kodwa kwakungekho mpendulo kumoya onuka kamnandi, kuba uMfazi endandijonge kuye yayingu umfanekiso yeLady yethu yeFatima.

Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo uhlala kwikhaya lesibini saseCalifornian endiye ndasazi kwaye ndasithanda kule minyaka idlulileyo (ndikhankanye umyeni kumfanekiso wam wamva nje, UFatima, kunye nokuGungqiswa okukhulu.) Uye wandibhalela ngale ntsasa esithi namhlanje, kwesi sikhumbuzo seNenekazi Lethu Lentlungu, ubuso bakhe buphinde “bugqunywe ziinyembezi.” Iinyembezi enyanisweni ziyioli enevumba elimnandi eliphuma emehlweni akhe ngendlela engaqondakaliyo—njengeminye imifanekiso eqingqiweyo netyhidiweyo ehlabathini lonke eye yaphandwa yafunyaniswa ingummangaliso. Kuba ngokuqhelekileyo imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ayikhali.

Kodwa oomama bayayenza.

Umhlobo wam othandekayo uMichael D. O'Brien wabhala ukucamngca okuchukumisayo malunga nosizi lweNenekazi lethu phantsi konyawo loMnqamlezo:

Xa behlisa lo mzimba uqhawukileyo bewubeka emathangeni akhe amalungu aqinileyo, agqwethekileyo ubona usana awayelubambe ezingalweni zakhe. [Ubuntu bakhe] babudalelwe uthando kwaye ngoku ulele apha kwakhona, egutyungelwe bubumdaka behlabathi, ehlaselwe bububi balo, eqwengiweyo ngumphefumlo walo ogulayo. Emva koko, kwintlungu esentliziyweni yakhe, lonke unxunguphalo loomama luphalala kwaye ubusuku buzaliswe zizikhalo… bazizikhalo ngendlela engazange ibonwe kwimbali yoluntu, ngaphambili okanye ezayo. Ingelosi yayimhlangule yena noYosefu nomntwana ekubulaweni kwabamsulwa. Ngoku, ekugqibeleni, naye ubizwa ukuba alilele iinyembezi ezinganyamezelekiyo zikaRakeli elilela abantwana bakhe, ngenxa yokuba bengasekho. -Ukulinda: Amabali e-Advent, wordincarnate.wordpress.com

Isizathu sokuba iNenekazi lethu lilile namhlanje kukuba, kwakhona, umzimba woNyana wakhe-umzimba wakhe ongaqondakaliyo, YeCawa—‘ligutyungelwe bubunyhukunyhuku behlabathi, liphanziswe bububi, liqwengwa ngumphefumlo walo onesifo.'

…nawe [Mariya] ikrele liya kugqobhoza ukuze zibe nokutyhilwa izicamango eziphuma ezintliziyweni ezininzi. (IVangeli yanamhlanje)

Ndisakhula, ndikhumbula xa mna nomntakwethu sasisilwa kwigumbi elingaphantsi. Asizange siqonde ukuba umama wethu okwigumbi eliphezulu uyeva. Ngokukhawuleza, seva ilizwi lakhe likhwaza, "Yiyeke! Yiyeke!" Sithe ntsho emehlweni enyembezi, intliziyo kamama ikrazukile ngumsindo usiqwenga. Usizi lwakhe lwalufana nokukhanya okwagqobhoza “izahlukano phakathi” ^[1]cf. ukufunda okokuqala kuthi, etyhila iintliziyo zethu ngomzuzwana omnye.

Kukho umzuzu ozayo kwihlabathi lethu, eliqhekezwe yizahlulo, nini “Iintliziyo ezininzi zinokutyhilwa”—“ukukhanya kwesazela.” ^[2]cf. Iliso leSiphango Siza kuwubona uMnqamlezo kaKristu esibhakabhakeni, batsho abanye bengqondo kunye nabangcwele. ^[3]cf. Ukukhanya kwesityhilelo Kwaye ukuba senza njalo, andithandabuzi ukuba sakubona uMama emi phantsi kwayo kwakhona, elilela uNyana owenzakeleyo kuphela, kodwa ekhalela uluntu oluneengxaki nothando olufana nolwaKhe… iinyembezi zikaMama noNyana zidibana ukwenza ithontsi elinye lokukhanya eliwela emhlabeni ukutyhila iintliziyo zabaninzi.

Ukanti, ikho indlela enye esinokumthoba ngayo iinyembezi ezikrakra namhlanje. Njengoko isitsho kwiNdumiso namhlanje:

Akuthandanganga mbingelelo, namnikelo wokudla, kodwa undinike iindlebe ezivulelekileyo.

Ngokuthobela kwethu uNyana wakhe nakwizinto ezincinci, eyathi iNkosi yethu ngokwayo bubungqina bothando lwethu, ^[4]cf. Yohane 14:15 siqala ukosula iinyembezi zikaMama wethu… kunye nezo zoNyana nazo.
